Erik Faye-Lund 67b77d8ade docs: apply some redirects
Here's a few redirects that we should apply, in case the redirects
gets removed in the future.

These are mostly of the 301 (moved permanently) kind, but also a
few where the site probably *should* have used the permanent
error-code.

New features
------------
- New DRI memory manager system. Currently used by the i915tex driver.
Other DRI drivers will be updated to use the new memory manager in
coming months.
To use the new driver you'll need the most recent DRM library and
drivers (version 2.2 or later) and a recent xf86-video-intel driver
module from X.org.
New features resulting from this work include:
- EXT_framebuffer_objects, render to texture
- ARB_pixel_buffer_objects
- Accelerated CopyTexSubimage, DrawPixels, ReadPixels, CopyPixels
- Accelerated texture uploads from pixel buffer objects
- Potentially texturing directly from the pixel buffer object (zero
copy texturing).
- New Intel i965 DRI driver
- New ``minstall`` script to replace normal install program
- Faster fragment program execution in software
- Added (or fixed) support for
`GLX_SGI_make_current_read <https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/extensions/SGI/GLX_SGI_make_current_read.txt>`__
to the following drivers:
- radeon
- savage
- mga
- tdfx
- Added support for ARB_occlusion_query to the tdfx driver (Ian
Romanick).
Bug fixes
---------
- fixed invalid memory read while rendering textured points (bug 8320)
- fixed problems with freebsd-dri configuration (bug 8344)
- Mesa's fake glxGetCurrentContext() wasn't thread-aware
- OPTION NV_position_invariant didn't work in NV vertex programs
- glDrawPixels into a user-created framebuffer object could crash Xlib
driver
- Line clipping was broken in some circumstances
- fragment.fogcoord register didn't always contain the correct value
- RGBA logicops didn't work reliably in some DRI drivers
- Fixed broken RGBA LogicOps in Intel DRI drivers
- Fixed some fragment program bugs in Intel i915 DRI driver
- Fixed glGetVertexAttribfvARB bug 8883
- Implemented glGetUniform[fi]vARB() functions
- Fixed glDrawPixels(GL_COLOR_INDEX, GL_BITMAP) segfault (bug 9044)
- Fixed some gluBuild2DMipmaps() bugs (Greg McGarragh)
- Fixed broken "mgl" name mangling
- Indirect rending was broken for glMap\* functions (bug 8899)
Internal code changes
---------------------
- The device driver functions ResizeBuffers and GetBufferSize have been
decprecated.
- OpenGL 2.0 and 2.1 support is nearly done. We need to do quite a bit
more testing of the shading language functions.
To Do (someday) items
---------------------
- Switch to freeglut
- Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
- Fix linux-glide target/driver.
- Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
